How do you exactly "move on"?
Is it like forcing yourself to forget? People say to move on from past events or situations but how exactly is that done?

There are many ways to move on and forcing yourself to at least try and forget is one of them. That's not to say that it's easy or even effective. The most effective way to move on for good is by obtaining closure or resolution. When past events still haunt you they are like a filing cabinet in your brain that is left open. When you find a way to close the cabinet your brain can stop alerting you to this unresolved issue. This may be achieved by yourself but can often require counselling if the issue is deep enough.
